With the growth of cities and increase in travel demand combined with poor or almost nonexistent public transport facilities in most of the cities, the number of private vehicles is growing exponentially. Thus to develop not only proper transport infrastructure but also the sustainable public transport systems for all types of cities, the institute endeavors to address the problems of infrastructure and sustainable urban transport systems in the country.

The institute has been organizing various national and international Conferences, Seminars, Workshop, Lecture Meetings at regular intervals.

The Institute organized a Conference & Exhibition on Urban Mobility from 3rd to 5th December 2008 at Pragati Maidan which was inaugurated by Hon'ble Minister for Urban Development Shri S. Jaipal Reddy.
